To create internal documentation for a report specification saved as a text file, you can include comments within the report specification by surrounding them with the /* and */ characters. Report-Writer ignores all text between these characters during report processing. If you save your report specification with the sreport command, Report-Writer ignores the comments and does not save them when storing your report specification in the database.

Comments can be nested; that is, you can have a set of comments within another set of comments. You can place comments anywhere within your file.
